There is an upper GI-series X-ray test that allows a radiologist to spot a peptic ulcer. Before going through this test one must drink a thick white chalky barium solution, which allows a radiologist to monitor how it moves through your upper GI tract and observe abnormalities. Forty years ago, radiologists noticed that the barium drink when consumed cold would leave the stomach and move to small intestines much quicker as compared to a slower evacuation of a warm drink. This was annoying for radiologists who did not have enough time to watch the process and, thereby, spot a peptic ulcer. Radiologists started experimenting with food and cold-water drinking after eating. This is the way many people have their cold drinks – right after or right before consuming a meal. Continue reading

“Non-GMO” Food Label

In all of the European Union countries, Japan, Australia, China, New Zealand, and many other countries it is mandatory to label foods that contain genetically modified ingredients – it’s not in the U.S.

However, there is a way to find out whether the fruit is a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) – the sticker.

A four-digit number is on any conventionally grown fruit or vegetable (with pesticides), like 4011 on bananas.

A five-digit number beginning with 9 means it’s organic.

A five-digit number beginning with 8 means it’s genetically modified.

Be aware that no one uses that “8” yet. And why would they if most Americans express they would avoid buying those labeled GMO? Who would like to end up with the organ damage the GMO- fed lab animals had?

To avoid GMO food,

Buy certified organic products.

Look for a “Non-GMO” label on a product. Examples are: soy milk, tofu, corn cereals, or HFCS in soda, ice creams, cookies, and other processed foods.

If you put aside a little bit of the same cream, but without vit. C and the brown rice flour, you can apply it under your eyes area.

This cream cleanses your face, feeds it, refreshes, softens, moisturizes, and brings a healthy glow to it. It’s good for teens, boys and girls, and men and women. It calms you mind as well – so enjoy it!
